Winged Migration (Perrin)

Stunning. We watched this on the projector, so that may have had something to do with it. The cinematography is beautiful; we were all wondering how the photographers were able to get close enough to get some of the shots they got. We see migratory birds in coastland, desert, Arctic, and estuarine environments, along with villages and a nasty-looking Eastern European factory of some kind. Incidental characters include some goose hunters, a French Navy frigate, penguins, an an old lady with a pot of corn. This was great family fare, and I’m glad we bought it– we’ll be watching it again. Highly recommended.
